Bloomberg: Microsoft, HTC in talks to put Windows on Android phones

After buying Nokia's devices and services business, what's Microsoft's next step to growing the Windows phone market? According to Bloomberg's
unnamed sources, that includes new devices from HTC, possibly goosed by
loading Windows on its Android phones. The report also claims Microsoft
operating systems chief Terry Myerson discussed lowering the license
fee or dropping it entirely as an incentive. The paper's sources weren't
clear on whether the devices might run both operating systems at once,
or let users choose just one, so we'll let you imagine either scenario
for the time being.
